Change The lhree-year plan of the
NJ. Z. pastors is very commendable and Is
highly appreciated by the people. There
are many men of many minds, some of
whom from continued sameness Of
things, become dull, careless and uncon-
cerned, and change Of pastors not only
gives new life and spirit to all such, but
also has tendency to bind the members
more closely together. 1t Ia true there
are many congregations sorry to part with
favorite pastor at the end Of three years,
but as a rule the wheel that has run In
the same rut three years makes but little
impression upon the ground over which
It rolls after that, and change is bene-
fetal TO all concerned, and we believe
that there are many Presbyterians who
would hail with JOY and delight the three
year rule In their church.

From France.

LONDON. June 2S.-The time set for
signing the Egyptian convention expires
tomorrow. Il Is asserted that if the sui
tan does not sign the document Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff, the special British en-
Voy, will depart from CoQstantinople in
stantly. The French government has
sent nste to the..sultani i'm which it is dis
tinctly refused to accept the sitSatiou
which will result from the signing OF the
Egyptian convention, and says that, if
the convention be ratified France will
take measures necessary to protect'her in
terests, which will be endangered by the
disturbance of the equilibrium of the
Mediterranean. On the other hand
France offers formal assurance that she
will protect and guarantee the sultan
against whatever consequences may re-
suit, If he will refuse to ratify the CON
ventlon. By SO doing, the note says, the
sultan will strengthen the lines of friend
ship between France and Turkey and
protect his country from the encroach-
ments and ambIts. Il of England. Upon
receipt of this note the council of Turk
lsh ministers was >ummoned, and note
to the powers was drafted, complaining
of French interfe-en in the internal
affairs of Turkey. The note will be sub
mltted to the sultan for approval. 1t is
rumored that Russian troops are advanc-
ing from kars as y menace to Turkey

reached an acute stage. France threatens
to break off diplomatic relations with the
Porte and resume her claims regarding
the protection of The Oriental holy places
if the convention be ratified, while Rus
sia demands recompense in the direction
of Erzeroum. The Porte, therefore, asks
England whether, in the event of the
ratification of the convention, Turkey
can rely upon the effective fulfllment of
the convention relating to Cypras. A
reply to this note has not yet been re-
ceiyed at Constartinople.

NEW YoKK, June 27.-The stock market

The Gould stocks being in particular an
object of attention. Manhattan was
quickly marked down from 1861 to lis,

tetest.

prices dropped in some cases 2 and 3 per

turned the tide Of affairs. Free recovery
followed in all except few of the con-
spicuously weak stocks. among which

DOMINION AFFAIRS.

The Proposed Railroad and the Indians are
Disturbing Elements.
WINNIPEG, Man, June 2.7-The Do
minion government is firmly determined
at all hazards, to prevent the building of
railway to the boundary and will chrush
out the disaffection in Manitoba. The
construction of the road will be begun in
about ten days, and if the Dominion uses
force there will probably be a rebellion.
The Dominion authorities have a force
of 1,100 regulars in the northwest one
thousand of them being mounted po-
lice in the territories, and one hun
dred members of the infantry school
in Winnipeg. The mounted police have
their hands full in keeping the Indians
in snbjection in the territories. The
Nineteenth battalion of militia of this
city has been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness to be ordered out, but this
action is supposed to be in connection
with threatened trouble among the In
dians of the west. Were they ordered
out to prevent the construction of the
ROAD they wonld simply fatty refuse.

Labouchere on the Lord Chamberlain
London Truth


AS an example of the sloyenly manner
in which things are muddlsd by the lord
chanberslins office, may point out that
invitations were issued by Lord Lathom
for the first state ball to "the Siamese
minister and her royal highness the Prln-
cess Varariddhi," and their names appear
in the official list of the company. Both
these personages left England nearly a
year ago on their return to Siam, and
since the departure of the minister the
legation has been managed by charge
d'affairies. 1t really brings the palace ad-
ministration into utter contempt and rid
icule when such blunders as these are of
weekly occurrence.
The objects of lord cAamberlin and his
officials are apparently (1) to e1pend the
largest possible amount of the public
money when there is a ceremonial which
is to be paid for by parliamentary vote;
(2) to reduce the number of court enter
tainments as far is compatible with de-
cency; (3) to arrange these court fetes so
as to cause as much Inconvenience as
possible. The profigate extravaganza
of the, Westminster abbey arrangements
is as fla grant scandel as the parsimony
manifested in drawing out the meager
programme of the Buckingham palace
entertainments. 1t is monstrous that
only two balls and two concerts should
be given during the jubilee season, when
London will be filled with royalties from
abroad. The number is utterly inadequate
in ordinary seasons, and the shameful
manner in which the invitations are job
bed makes matters considerably worse.
1t was formerly the custom to consider
official convenience in fixing the dates for
palace fetes, and the balls and concerts
took place on Wednesday, so that both
ministers and opposition could attend
| without causing trouble a. Westminster.
This season, however, the state entertain
ments are fixed for parliament nights,
and one would really suppose that SO in
felicitons an arrangement can scarcely
have been made for all four functions By
mere chauce
